Xbox founder was meant to be an ambient part of this admiring project which was hired by Xbox earlier in 2011 and planning to expand it much bigger. This particular technology is not only supported by HBO but also by the upcoming Time Warner offerings such as Turner Broadcasting and Warner Bros. It doesn’t require a cable subscription to be used globally and will be enabled in 2016 in accordance to the sources. The bid was over Time Warner for last summer and the plan was changed by 20th Century Fox, also the media tycoon's overtures would soon deliver a large value to shareholders. Time Warner outlined a series of measures aimed at bolstering revenue growth and cutting costs. HBO's CEO announced that the standalone HBO will launch in 2015 which has become the recent headline. According to the sources, the pricing of the new product and how it will be sold is still a mystery.
